It’s increasingly hard to imagine Christmas in 20+ degrees. However, I have seen a Santa and Christmas lights. On another note, here’s some links for a hot afternoon.
1. Canada’s War in Iraq: of interest to Canadians, of course, and those who want to learn more about the real happenings behind our safe cover flag.
2. How to Fix Afghanistan With People: Clare was young when she went into Afghanistan. With some very bright ideas (which many would think obvious, but clearly most Americans can’t figure out). Including: give locals responsibility and keep huge multi-million dollar investment projects out. There’s no better way to build legitimacy (and re-build a nation) than to show that you have confidence in those who are interested in seeing their economic situations change through locally-generated development.
